[QUOTE="azlambeau, post: 237720, member: 1292"] Last year, I was in a New Balance shoe store in Scottsdale, Arizona during the season and here comes former lineman Kevin Barry. I knew exactly who he was so I approached him......we both had something in common, (his size 16EEEE shoe and my size 17D shoe), so conversation was easy! He was one of the most pleasant guys I had ever met.....we discussed Favre, the Packers and his current career with the Texans. Again in Scottsdale, I was in the Scottsdale fashion Square Mall and walked right past Bart Starr in a Nordstom......TALK ABOUT A MISSED OPPORTUNITY! In 2002, I had flown to Milwaukee to attend the Packers October 20th game against the Redskins..........I was walking out of the airport and ran right into Irv Favre. I shook his hand and spoke to him briefly about Brett. He was very receptive to conversation. In 1991 I was on a date (in Las Cruces, NM) and my date introduced me to a guy named Darius Holland......he was attending Mayfield High School at the time. Later on in his college days, he was drafted by the Packers. In 1997, I ran into him again in Las Cruces and spoke with him briefly.........he wasn't all that cool to talk with so I left him alone. I had later found out that kids were asking him for autograph at a local trading card shop and was asking each kid for $5.00!!! [/QUOTE]
